Found a new used book store and bought a copy of Cats Cradle and a handful of Denis Johnson books--read Jesus' Son a couple of months ago and absolutely loved it. And, the new book store is pretty awesome... most books are four dollars and they have a lot of great titles.

Clearly, you need more Vonnegut. haha But he's not writing any more books. On the other hand, there's nothing quite like discovering a new author and then learning they have an entire back catalog to explore.

Can somebody recommend me any short story collection from the 19th century - early 20th? British, American, doesn't matter. If it touches on psychoanalysis, the better.

This is early to mid 20th century but Hemingway's short stories are awesome--the 'Nick Adams' collection is really good (and they touch on your psychoanalysis criteria) . And, if you like those, I'd suggest his novel The Garden of Eden--I think it might fit what you are looking for and has short stories imbedded.

Does it have to have been originally published as a short story collection? There are a lot of publications that are collected short stories of X author, but they weren't originally published as a collection.

It could be a short story released by its own, in a magazine or something. I already chose "The Star-Child" by Oscar Wilde, but I'd still like to read some more.

I assume you've read Dubliners? William Faulkner also published a decent number of short stories, but none of them are well known. And then there is Sherlock Holmes.

I bought a big pile of secondhand books in the last two days, all in nice condition, some I have heard of, some that just seemed interesting and some I have been looking for. I am all excited about them. Paid $24 total.

Somebody opened the packaging of one of the copies at Barnes and Noble, so I got a chance to flip through it. Holy shit! A lot of work must have gone into that project. So many layers. Christina looked at it and said - where did they start writing it? And how do you start reading it?
